Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Black Adam: Out, for Now
The movie that really did change the hierarchy of power after all also got itself shut out of the new DCU in the process. Dwayne Johnson confirmed this week in a message posted to social media—in the wake of an embarrassingly public attempt to defend the box office success of Black Adam—that he had spoken to James Gunn and that Black Adam will not be part of the “First Chapter” of this new slate. Characters from the film could potentially show up in other projects, including Black Adam himself and the surviving members of the Justice Society.
